“Our hearts go out to Sean and his family on the loss of Omar,” Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente said in a statement.

“Sean is a wonderful young man and I know his teammates and the rest of the Virginia Tech community will be there to support him. We ask that Hokies everywhere keep Sean’s family in their prayers during this difficult time as we all extend our deepest condolences to them.”

During his breakout game against Boston College, Savoy hauled in nine catches for 139 yards and a touchdown. He was also named the ACC Rookie of the Week.

Our deepest condolences go out to Savoy and his entire family during this incredibly difficult time.
